The ‘Samba Virus Scanner‘ is a Samba VFS plugin to transparently scan CIFS shares for known viruses in a parallel and mostly asynchronous fashion when files are accessed (a.k.a. on-access virus scanning).

One of the most important goals of this project is performance, which means that we took great effort to allow for the fastest possible scans, including multi-threaded scanning, scan result caching and post-processing (quarantine/delete).
